Is Swelling And Tenderness Sign Of Fracture?

I hit my head right on my eyebrow bone over a week ago. There was instant swelling, almost a two inch egg. Over the course of the week there was bruising that traveled down my cheek and around my eye. That has slowly disappeared but the brow bone is still very swollen and tender. What are the symptoms of a fractured eyebrow bone?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms of the fractured eyebrow bone are:
-double vision or reduced vision.
-swelling of the eyelid
-pain, bruising, tearing, or bleeding around the eye
-nausea and vomiting
-inability to move your eye in some directions.
An xray is needed for further evaluation.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
